The Football Field of Megaplatanos.

The athletic association of Megaplatanos "Doxa Megaplatanou", was formed according to the people of Megaplatanos, even before the German Occupation of Greece (1941-1945). The operations of the team were however, disrupted abruptly by the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). "Doxa", which means "Glory" in Greek, was officially founded as the Athletic Association of Megaplatanos in 1953. In 1972 the construction of the Football field of Megaplatanos was completed. The field is still used for the training sessions of "Doxa", which competes in Category B of the Greek Amateur Football. As part of a tradition of Megaplatanos, a "Married vs Single" football match takes place on Great Friday of each year. In addition, during the celebrations of the patron saint of Megaplatanos on September 20th, a football tournament takes place with the participation of veteran football players from the following teams: PAOK of Thessaloniki, Edessaikos, Almopos and Doxa Megaplatanou.
